re: How about creating a button w/ a symbol character to trick constructor into giving you a frameless button, then changing the character at runtime? Great idea !! But, the form is created completely dynamically (meaning, Constructor isn't involved at all). The number, placement, and content

Ha! I finally figured out how to legally create a frameless button. Well, at least for my client's specific need. Create a repeatingPushButton (which, by definition has no frame), then treat all repeat taps as a single tap. I hate having to go through Kansas City to get to Boston from Miami ..

re: Can you instead iterate over all the form objects, get their IDs, and discover that way which items are in your form? Doh !! You could at least have made the quick-fix solution a little tougher, you know, so it wouldn't look like I was TOTALLY out to lunch. [gg] re: I'll look into this

Thanks for the response ... Yes -- on Palm OS 5, the FormType pointer doesn't actually point to a useful structure. It instead is a handle to a shadow structure allocated by ARM code. It probably isn't a chunk pointer, which means that MemPtrSize won't work on it. I suspected something

Robert: Thanks for the reply. The store allocated chunks in globals concept certainly has merit. The trouble with globals is that they are non-reentrant. I built a single generic form driver system (driven by totally user-defined tables) that does everything dynamically, thus taking the vast

re: Is there a reason you can't make your application multi-segment? Not really. I'm just trying to keep it as small as possible, and therefore didn't want to add the overhead of the segment manager library routines. After I posted my question, I determined what was causing the call to _lmul_.

There's a difference between fixing bugs and rewriting code. The suggestion was to switch to a gadget. That's not a simple bug fix. A gadget would require much more manipulation by my set of library routines. Essentially what I built was an object (using OOP terminology) that uses standard
